A Kitty-Cat Poem

.

Kitty, kitty in my chair,
Sitting there so debonair.

Black cat with shiny eyes,
To cross your path could be unwise.

Playful feline pounces fast,
Jump on people walking past.

Tabby teases a little mouse,
Tauntingly throughout the house.

Oh! Of cats what can I say?
They prowl at night and sleep all day.

~Virginia Mitchell

If this won for you in the contest, then I can see why. This is a very impressive set of rhyming couplets that are both individually and collectively descriptive. Congratulations.

I've heard it said that cats spend more than 60 percent of their lives sleeping. But, yes, they can be creatures of the night, Virginia. Cool poem! Congratulations on your win in Constance's contest! Love, Carolyn
